From simmering allegations of financial mismanagement to claims of heavy-handed discipline in the city’s main opposition party, things could get nasty in the upcoming Burnaby civic election campaign.

But Mayor Derek Corrigan, who represents the NDP-affiliated Burnaby Citizens Association, said he’d like the campaign to focus on the positive issues such as the dedication of green space and the ongoing development of the Edmonds town centre.

One of the most contentious topics in Burnaby's civic election campaign is city hall's purchase of an SAP computing system that is behind schedule, overbudget, and threatening to become embroiled in a lawsuit. Shawn Hall, the media spokesperson for Telus said his company backed out of the deal in 2006 because of the ever-growing scope of the project.

Team exodus

There’s been an exodus of expertise from Team Burnaby, with the departure of at least three senior campaign workers in less than two weeks.
The defections began three weeks ago when campaign manager John Cameron and media liaison Alise Mills left the civic party at about the same time that Team council candidate Stanley Jung resigned from the slate.
Last week, David Pasin told local newspapers that “philosophical differences” made it impossible for him to continue as the replacement campaign manager.

Burnaby politics heat up

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 11:50:44 -0700

The level of rhetoric is rising in Burnaby, after a first-time city council candidate announced he was splitting from Team Burnaby to run as an independent.

Dr. Stanley Jung, who lists his occupation as a chiropractor and forensics expert, did not return repeated phone calls from 24 hours, but was reported as saying his decision was based on unease with a Team Burnaby policy to lower the rate of tax increases.
